So leave a comment on all the blog posts and then come back to the mSB blog and tell us what you favourite project was along the way for a chance to win!

Have fun!

I have created three little projects using my favourite mSB-alpha stamp " rustik outlines". As many of you know I LOVE types, fonts and alphas, so this bloghop went straight into my heart - and I had a blast making my LOs and card.

I wanted to use my alphas in a "new" way, and decided to make backgrounds.

On my card and on the school-LO I stamped with acrylic paint. The acrylic paint makes a fun texture, and the stamped images appear a bit messy. I loved that look for my background on this simple LO and the card. On the "for You" card I also sprayed the background with glimmer

mist to make it sparkle. :)

On this LO about my dear boy I also used the "rustic outlines" alpha as a background, but this time the letters are put together to words. Words about things that matters to this boy @ the age of 13

I made the background using glimmer mist and the negative piece of a alpha-chipboard package, I gently sprayed the glimmermist over the "mask" to make the shape of the larger letters appear just a little bit darker than the cardstock.

Then I stamped the words on top of this.

Hope you enjoy the bloghop and find LOTS of inspiration :)

You can find all the awesome mSB-alphabets here. They are all so cool and versatile, and affordable too.

Now make sure you find your way over to JOLENEs blog to continue the bloghop. :)

Happy creating.
